Mona Pirzad was born in 1984 and holds both German and Iranian nationality, working fluently in German, English, Persian (Farsi/Dari), and Spanish. She trained at the Schauspielschule Charlottenburg and with acting coach Eric Morris in Los Angeles. She built her career across a wide range of German film and television projects including Karoline Herfurth’s features Sweethearts, Wunderschön and Wunderschöner.

Her recent credits include Fatih Akin’s Rheingold (2021), the Sky series Drift – Partners in Crime and the Netflix series Alphamännchen (2024). Her upcoming work includes the first and second season of Alphamännchen and the Prime Video series The Game of Keys (2025) and the mystery series Die Düsteren with director Lea Becker.

Apart from acting she also tells stories through electronic music, playing at festivals and venues around the world. Her taste is clearly influenced by Berlin’s deep house scene, yet is carrying the faraway footprint of her Persian roots and traveler‘s mind.

She is currently based in Berlin & Lisbon.
